Well, the VIN checked out and I've a bond ready for the title office! A small step in the right direction. I figure since I'm going for a budget build, I should keep track of the budget so I can see how much money I might be wasting. Remember, the goals are to eventually have a nice running bike with the proper (if appropriate) upgrades. As in, I'm not doing the elephant feet if the valve covers don't need to come off. I'm also excluding the fuel used to get around for whatever the bike needs.
Next up is diagnosis and planning. I'll need to get the EX carb parts based on that thread. Figure I'll run as close to the general average (138 mains, 38 pilots and JJJ or GJH needles i. Needle clips at mid (JJJ) or 4th (GJH) position, inline 'zuk fuel filter and idle turned out 2 turns) as I can and call that a day for now.
Title application fee: $15
Title bond: $95
EX500 carbs: $131.25
Fork tubes: $30 + s/h
Grand total so far: $271.25
